RFSQ (1).pdf

This Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) is issued by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to solicit qualified vendors to enter into Master Agreements for the provision of psychological services to the Department's Pre-Employment Unit. The Department seeks qualified individuals or companies to conduct clinical interviews and psychological evaluations of law enforcement applicants for positions including Deputy Sheriff Trainee, Reserve Deputy Sheriff, Custody Assistant, and Security Officer. Vendors must comply with California Government Code Section 1031(f) and POST Regulation 1955 (Peace Officer Psychological Evaluation) as specified in the Peace Officer Standards and Training Administrative Manual. The RFSQ is available in electronic PDF format on the Department's website at http://shq.lasdnews.net/shq/contracts/info.html, with detailed service requirements outlined in Attachment 1 (Statement of Work).

Vendors must meet minimum mandatory qualifications to be considered for award, including meeting the requirements for psychological evaluators as set forth in Paragraph (a)(1) of POST Regulation 1955. This requirement applies to the vendor and all psychologists employed by the vendor who will provide services under the resulting Master Agreement. Vendors must provide references and supporting documentation for each psychologist who will deliver services to demonstrate compliance with POST qualifications. The RFSQ structure indicates the Department intends to establish multiple Master Agreements with selected vendors to provide as-needed psychological services on an ongoing basis.
